"... Since the widening and beautification of 12th Street, the neighborhood is taking on a new pride, and the access to the cemetery is much easier to find.... The cemetery comprises 22 acres of gorgeous land--manicured and lovingly maintained.... There is still clover and in the spring, carpets of sweet violets blanket the grass.... I find the care taken to restore and maintain the old markers at Linden Grove far better than any cemetery I've been in, save Spring Grove."

Welcome

COME TAKE A WALKING TOUR!! The Cemetery is a featured walking tour on the Experience Covington Cultural Heritage Tour
funded by a Preserve America grant. The audio tours are administered
by Renaissance Covington. The tour provides an excellent opportunity to
showcase the Cemetery as part of a larger, citywide, cultural heritage
promotion.

Linden Grove, originally called the Cincinnati and Covington
Cemetery, was established in 1843 by the now defunct theological seminary, Western Baptist Theological Institute.The Institute laid out a small cemetery on a portion of its extensive property, and the growth of the City of Covington eventually surrounded the cemetery. As hard times hit the cemetery, it was placed in receivership in 1948; but in 1998 the City of Covington and the Kenton County Fiscal Court established a Board of Overseers to manage and operate the Cemetery. Linden Grove Cemetery has more than 22,000 burials over 22 acres. We are open 7 days a week from 9 am to 5 pm for your convenience.
